Has anyone found a program, and settings, to convert a youtube flv (and other formats) to a format that will play ok on the Pilot? This thing is so darn picky on what it plays. I'm tired of having to use 2 or more programs to convert a single video that will play on the Pilot.

If anyone has found a solution, let us know what program, and settings you use. So many programs support iPod video but I have never found a program that had a specific output setting for the Insignia Pilot, not even the Arcsoft converter that comes with it.

I noticed that files converted with MediaConverter 2 playback fine and GSpot reports CBR. AVC's default setting is CBR, but has choppy playback after FFW and GSpot reports VBR. On a whim, I tried the ABR setting which plays smooth and GSpot reports as CBR.

The AVC adjustment did not cure the choppy fast forward but at least it plays correctly when resuming normal playback. AVC did the conversions faster than SUPER so I am going to use it for a while longer to see if any problems crop up.
